BEST BUDDIES
Best Buddies is a worldwide
organization pairing students and
individuals with intellectual or
developmental disabilities in a
one-on-one friendship. Volunteers are
paired with a "buddy" for the school
year. This year, over 65 buddies
participated in the program.
Approximately 80 volunteers were
involved in the program and over
$2,650 was raised.
Notable events this year included the matching activity in October. Using a Harry Potter theme this year, Best Buddies directors matched buddies to volunteers with over 250 individuals attending. The annual Talent Show and Valentine’s Day dance also attracted large crowds.
